“LOST” part one! When the Justice League is confronted by three concurrent threats, a sleep-deprived Batman makes a crucial error that causes an unthinkable—and potentially unforgivable—tragedy. Legendary Eisner Award-nominated writer Christopher Priest (Deathstroke) is joined by artist Pete Woods for a brand-new must-read Justice League story like you’ve never seen before!
Greetings!
Welcome back to another week of DCUBC. I hope you are all staying safe!
This week we are joining the Justice League, as they face off against a powerful enemy. Themselves. This Justice League story is truly unique, and you’re not going to want to miss it.
I’m pretty sure I didn’t read this one yet and I am a big Priest fan normally. I really enjoyed a lot of his early 90s mid 90s DC Comics like the Ray, Justice League Task Force, Triumph. I really liked his later take on Black Panther at the end of the nineties.
I was expecting to read at least one, twenty letter word. Clark did not disappoint.
“oinozythestiatoriaon”
I guess this means Clark and Simon’s lunch will be Greek food.
Their were two actually. Jessica and Victor. But if I’m choosing just one, I’m going with Victor/Cyborg. Starting with overriding Batman’s orders in the first book, to the conversations with Glenn/Gammeron about leadership, which he pondered on later, and learning of his cloaking ability to assume full human form. I hadn’t seen that from Cyborg before. I wondered if that had anything to do with the conversation he had with Glenn about his choice of appearance while assuming human form.
I’m a sucker for the comedic moments in a story, and while Simon had several while contemplating what lunch with Supes meant, and the classic of Batman surprising someone (Jessica in this instance) by simply appearing from the shadows, I gotta go with Flash on this one. While hyper-calculating every move while in space, he acknowledged that physics doesn’t always apply in the life of a superhero.
My expectations were and exciting read and wondering how much Bruce messed up
Have to go with Simon because I haven’t read about him much and this was a good introduction to his character.
My favorite moment was when the League was trying to find the cockroach and Barry was explaining everything in scientific terms and Simon kept saying speak English.
Just started this. I’m going to try to balance reading this with finishing up DC Fandome this fine Sunday (along with Zoom meeting church etc). I’m assuming all three will be mind boggling experiences. For starters, there’s no humanly way possible to view even a third of DC Fandome in a 24-hour period, lol.
I’m already amused that Mr. Priest has the artist setting up the panels just like he did with Black Panther (and Quantum and Woody, etc) with the title of a single page, lots of dark background for the page title etc.
The dilemma of being involved in rescue services like being a fireman or ambulance paramedic and realizing that sometimes no matter what you do you can’t win all the time is definitely well presented here in this one. Batman has someone die on his watch when he’s in charge because he misheard something and that can happen and does all the time in real life emergency services. Question is, what do you do after that, do you quit or you keep going and learn to live with the mistakes?
